Over time, the flor, formed by yeast of the Saccharo- myces Cerevisiae genus, transforms the sobretablas into Fino Sherry. The ageing system is char- acterized by the careful extraction of wine and the consequent topping up of the various cask in the individual wine cellars, traditionally known as the sacas and rocios.

Wines of Spain Introduction Spanish Wine Classification Spanish Wine
Wines of Spain Introduction Spain is the third largest wine producer in the world and has the largest land area dedicated to vineyards than any other country. Earlier, it was known for ‘sherry’ and red wines from Rioja, outside Spain. However, today, almost all its wines are well – recognized because of dedicated and continuous efforts on improving the quality. Some new wine makers are employing modern technology and introduce classic grape varieties along with native grapes, to wide range of wines. Spain has a diverse climate which gives a variety of wine styles – full – bodied wines, light wines, and sparkling wines. Sparkling wines are made in Spain using methode champenoise named Cava. Spanish Wine Classification Spanish wine classification is based on French appellation system, which not only identifies the specific area of production and the grapes used but also the minimum ageing period which is applied to all Spanish wines. Spanish Wine Areas Rioja This region makes the best known Spanish table wines, including red and white of different styles and rose. The key feature of Rioja is that it is aged for a longer period in 225 litre barricas (barrels); for instance, reds are aged as long as 15-20 years obtaining an oak flavour from the wood. The reds are mainly from tempranillo. The whites of Rioja are made chiefly viura. The three Rioja red wine classifications, as found on the front or back of Spanish wine bottle labels are as follows – • Crianza – This is fresh, fruit – flavored, youthful, red wine that is aged in oak for a minimum of one year and then kept another year for ageing in the bottle.

Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

Brandy Bible Second Edition
BRANDY BIBLE SECOND EDITION “Derived from the Dutch Brandewijn” - “burnt wine” Brandy, a quick introduction… Legend has it that brandy was first produced when an enterprising sea captain distilled wine in order to save space on his ship. He planned to reconstitute it with water when he arrived at his home port, but those who sampled the new concoction liked it just the way it was. Today, most brandy is distilled from white wine, though red wine and other fermented fruit juices are also used. It’s then aged in oak barrels for several years. Brandy is often served as an after-dinner drink, or added to coffee. There are two highly regarded French brandies: Cognac and the slightly drier Armagnac. California also produces many fine brandies that are similar to cognac. Metaxa is a strong Greek brandy that tastes of resin. Spanish brandy is based on sherry, and is heavier and sweeter than French brandy. Fruit Brandies such as Apple brandy is distilled from apple cider, while pear brandy is made from pear cider. Fruit brandies are distilled from the fruit itself, instead of fruit juices. Then there are Pomace brandies such as the Italian Grappa. This potent and somewhat harsh drink is made from the grape residue, called pomace, that’s left over from making wine. It’s traditionally been thought of as a second-rate ‘eau de vie’, but some producers have developed premium Grappas that are quite smooth and very pricey. “Here at the Three Greyhounds Inn we aim to stock an excellent selection of Brandies across the three types from classic Grape Brandy such as Cognacs and Armagnacs to fruit brandies such as English Cider Apple Brandies from the farm as well as other interesting fruit brandies.

Further, it is recognized that these products shall continue to be subject to all of the labelling requirements of the USA. B. The EC agrees to restrict, within its regulatory framework (Council Regulation (EEC) No 1 576/89, Article 11 or an equivalent successor regulation), the use of the product designations: "Tennessee whisky"/"Tennessee whiskey", "Bourbon whisky"/"Bourbon whiskey" and "Bourbon" as a designation for Bourbon whisk(e)y to distilled spirits/spirit drinks products of the USA produced in compliance with the laws and regulations of the USA (27 CFR 5.22 or an equivalent successor regulation). Further, it is recognized that these whiskies shall continue to be subject to all of the labelling requirements of the EC. C. The USA and the EC agree to meet at a mutually convenient time in the future to discuss the possibilities of extending restrictive recognition to additional distilled spirits/spirit drinks products which either Party may propose for such consideration.

Pando Fino Sherry
PANDO FINO SHERRY For over 130 years, Bodegas Williams & Humbert have been producing the finest sherries and brandies; as well as a diverse portfolio of spirits, utilizing one of the most traditional methods of ageing, the solera method. Founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert, Bodega Williams & Humbert has been considered to be one of the world’s most prestigious wine producers in the world. They were involved in the creation of the Jerez-Xeres-Brandy Quality Demarcation, as well as the criteria for evaluating sherries. Now owned by the Medina family, two generations work side by side in the creation of the wines and spirits. Located in the heart of Jerez de la Frontera, Bodega Williams & Humbert has more than 1,200 acres of vineyards, and the largest wine cellar in Europe. The family owned and operated Bodega has produced a great variety of high quality sherries, while maintaining the traditional methods of solera aging. Solera is a method of producing wines, where small amounts of younger wines are systematically blended with the more mature wines over a period of time. Bodega Williams & Humbert has a variety of sherry lines, most notably the Dry Sack medium created in 1906, a staple sherry among many restaurants around the world. In the US, Bodegas Williams & Humbert has three lines of sherries - Dry Sack, Don Zoilo, and the rare aged. Each tier offers expressions that range from dry to sweet profiles. Bodegas Williams & Humbert has one of the largest and most diverse offerings of 20 and 30 year old Rare and Very Rare age expressions.
